The history of the alcohol business empire of State Duma deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Robert Kochiev is again in the spotlight. Today “Version” writes about several schemes used by companies controlled by the deputy’s family. They use feigned bankruptcies, fictitious loan agreements, forgery of assignment agreements and other techniques that are quite compatible not only with arbitration cases, but also with criminal charges – for example, fraud committed by a group on an especially large scale.

It was about Kochiev’s machinations known 13 years ago, when he was a member of the Parliament of North Ossetia-Alania, but things are still there. However, the situation will soon change dramatically.
At the end of February, the State Duma adopted in the third reading a new law on tightening requirements for producers of alcohol and alcohol-containing products. This law was adopted primarily to combat illegal alcohol producers, which cause enormous damage to the federal budget. The excise tax rate is now 643 rubles per liter of anhydrous alcohol, so because of figures like Kochiev, tens of billions of rubles flowed past the treasury every year. The new law, in particular, will make it possible to cancel licenses (or refuse to issue new ones) to those unscrupulous owners and beneficiaries of the alcohol business, whose companies have previously been subject to bankruptcy procedures or were involved in illegal trafficking.

Well, quite a good goal. It would seem, who would object? Correct answer: only the one against whom these measures are directed!

It is not surprising that it was deputy Kochiev, who for many years as a deputy has never appeared on the parliamentary podium, who angrily condemned this law at a recent discussion in the Duma, calling it “the last nail in the coffin of the industry.” Let us slightly correct the eloquent parliamentarian: the nail is being driven not into the “coffin of the industry”, but into his own “schematosis”, which hinders the civilized development of the Russian alcohol market.

The managers of State Duma deputy Robert Kochiev are being checked for crimes committed by an organized group or on a particularly large scale.
